Star Base Tour

Sci-Fi Base Tour - Unreal Project 2

This was my 2nd Unreal college project I continued after the course.

The Brief


Build a sci-fi style base with components from a base set  from the Fab Marketplace. Guide a camera around it.

My roles Included:

  • Director
  • Art Director
  • Production Designer
  • Set Decorator



Brief

This was the second unreal course project done where we did not learn much more.



The brief was to put together a few sci-fi corridors and a large room  with a camera moving though and area zoning to have separate lighting.


I extended this brief after the course to a fully operational base, based on imperial out posts from the Star Wars universe on outer rim planets like the desert world of Tatooine or Lothal.


Less detailed than a city worlds or jungle so more open flat floored with sand to simplify the environment.


With being an outpost less buildings and infrastructure.


Enclosing in a crater gives the feel of a hiddens base and limits the horrizon

Environment and Sky


  • This was to be on an includes island to lessen the need for a deep horizon and enclosed in cliff walls.
  • Alien planet Foliage and Creatures
  • Planets in the sky to show its in Space
  • Space stations orbit in the sky but low enough to interact indicating this is more on a moon than planet
  • A river to go with the industrial zone
  • Orbiting “Off Shore”capital ships much like seen in a harbour or island


Sub Locations


  • A central command building with a control room, laboratory and medical centre.
  • Corridors.
  • A control base.
  • An industrial processing plant and factory.
  • A workers village.
  • Landing pad spaceport.
  • Food Market.
  • Bases Defences.
  • Engineering Mechanics junk dump and parts depot
  • Outer cliffs and natural wall
  • River


Populating the Base


To make the base feel real I populated it with  a diverse human and alien population, with purpose. These included:


  • Passers by
  • Control Room Staff
  • Warriors
  • Stall Staff and Sales Staff
  • Stall Customers
  • Mechanics
  • Robot Security and Utility Dogs
  • Landing Pad Cargo Staff
  • Aliens


Vehicles


  • Outer Space Ports and orbital defences
  • Large space cargo or military Vassals that cannot land The equivalent of deep sea and hulled cruise and cardo vessels that’s cannot dock in small harbours.
  • Shuttles  down to the base from the capital spaceships
  • Local security drones
  • Ground Rovers
